So, I am a little surprised to see that I am the only one with this problem. Steve

Cloud customers developing private applications — what approach are others using? I’m interested in hearing how other Invision Cloud customers handle custom application development. I prefer Invision Cloud and intend to keep my community there. However, I recently learned that Cloud customers cannot use IN_DEV or obtain a development environment for building their own private Invision applications. Invision Support confirmed that a completed custom application can be installed on an Invision Cloud community, but development must be done using a separate Classic/self-hosted license or by hiring a developer who already has one. This creates an awkward situation. A customer paying for the preferred Cloud platform must also purchase and maintain a separate self-hosted license simply to access the development tools needed to build an application for the Cloud community. A new Classic license currently costs $499, followed by a $199 annual renewal. That seems excessive when the license would only be used as a local development environment and would never operate a public community. I may be in a better position than some customers because I previously owned a self-hosted license. My Client Area appears to offer conversion to the current Invision Community Classic terms at $199 per year without another initial purchase. I still need to confirm whether accepting that conversion would restore access to the current software downloads and developer tools. I would be interested to know what other Cloud customers and developers are doing: Do you maintain a separate Classic license solely for local application development? Have you moved custom functionality outside Invision and connected it through the API? Is there another supported development or testing option I have overlooked? Would there be interest in a lower-cost, development-only license or SDK for Cloud subscribers, with no right to operate a separate public community? I understand why IN_DEV cannot be enabled directly on a shared or managed Cloud production environment. My concern is the absence of a local development entitlement tied to an active Cloud subscription. I’m not asking for support with a particular application here. I’m trying to understand how the community is handling this limitation and whether there is a practical native-development path for Cloud customers. Thanks, Steve

Thanks! The ability to run in AWS OpenSearch would be useful. Steve

The versions listed in the configuration requirements seem to be obsolete. Is there a plan to support newer versions of Elastic and Open Search? Elasticsearch: Must be running at least version 8.0.0, but less than version 9.0.0. OpenSearch: Must be running a version of 2.1.x. Steve

Please consider including the Cover Image for the events in the Webhook or API calls. These images are usually included elsewhere on the site, but not in events. At least I have not been able to find the field. Thank you, Steve

@Marc is there a more complete deprecation list for v5 then https://invisioncommunity.com/deprecation-tracker/ as this one does not include SendGrid? Thanks, Steve

Thank you! I might build blocks in the future, but was hoping to just be able to remove some items as @opentype described. If I have several blocks on the "home" page, each for a specific Database, can I apply these to each block individually? Thanks!

We have some databases where some information is unnecessary and should not appear on the home page blocks. This can be the author or date. Is it possible not to include them within the page builder tools? Thanks, Steve

Is there SendGrid Support via API in v5? Thanks, Steve

When i look at the home page at https://invisioncommunity.com/ i can see the "Seamless integration with your workflows" that contains three items and it only gets reduced to two items in the row when the width drops to "Tablet" level. As I can create a different block for Tablet or Mobile, is there a way to delay the collapse? Is there a way to center the cards within the block? Steve

I'm building a home page in IPB5 and need help with the Grid/Wallpaper widget layout settings. Goal: Display 3 event blocks per row that fill the full width of the container. When the viewport shrinks, I want the blocks to resize proportionally while staying on the same row (not wrapping to a new line). Current Issue: I can't achieve both requirements simultaneously: If I set each block width to ~33% to fill the full width, one block wraps to a second row If I reduce the block width to prevent wrapping, the blocks no longer fill the full width and leave empty space Question: What widget settings or configuration will allow the blocks to: Always display 3 items per row (no wrapping) Fill the full available width Resize responsively when the viewport narrows Is this achievable through the widget settings, or does it require custom CSS? Any guidance would be appreciated.

I filed this request a few years ago and was hoping it would come to life in v5, but it still isn't around. When creating a field in Pages, you can choose a number type, but when you sort by that field, it is not treated as a number, and the sort is alphabetical, so a record 111111 will come before record 2. Can this be resolved? Thank you, Steve

I am seeing many things here that I don't see as hotly configurable, so I wanted to see what I am missing. Additional fields in the post I see one is based on user information Second menu in the header additional items in the header. (client area and pricing buttons) Those are just a few came up in the first few days of testing Steve

Where can I find the v5 documentation? All links still lead to v4. thanks, Steve

Thank you! I need to figure out if there is a way to initiate a Shopify order once the user purchases a specific product (subscription). Or add that license key to Shopify as a Discount code. Steve K.

So, disabling the Physical Product setting will preserve everything else, including renewals? Can either the standard purchase or the Subscription purchase trigger a webhook? I saw that a purchase can generate a License Key. How can that key be found, and how can that key be used? Thank you, Steve

We have been selling physical products as memberships, and they all come with recurring payments through either PayPal or Stripe. I understand that we will no longer have shipping or physical products. Will these recurring payments be untouched? Can they be converted to the existing membership system? We ship a welcome pack for the membership, and having it as a physical product makes this dramatically easier than just a pure membership. We have a Shopify store now, so we will need to figure out how to initiate the shipment from here, but it would be good to keep the old memberships where they are. Thank you, Steve
